Mayfly Bridge

Mayfly Bridge: pedestrian and bicycle bridge in the centre of Szolnok

Mayfly Bridge

A bridge has always been a symbol in the histoy of mankind representing belonging together, appeasement, the removal of obstacles separating peoples or nations. The new symbol of Szolnok, the longest foot-bridge in Central Europe, is a true tourist attraction and a technical curiosity. Apart from the construction of the bridge, this investment included the formation of a ceremonial square at the foot of the bridge on the town’s side and also its attractive floodlights. A special feature of the bridge is that it is supported only by two pillars on the riverbanks giving the structure and delicate aerial charm. Elevators on both sides assist disabled people to access the bridge. Mayfly Bridge connects the downtown area of the county seat to the green belt breathing new life into Tiszaliget and helping it develop into a recreational, sports and higher education centre.

The steel structure of the bridge resembling the wings of a mayfly, which is the longest one in the country and also Central Europe, boasts a number of special and rarely employed technical solutions. It has a mass of 550 tonnes and a length of 444 metres. The span between the two supporting pillars is 120 metres.

As part of the project a new ceremonial square was constructed at the foot of the bridge on the town’s side where, beside the World War I Memorial, the Relic Country Banner, originally erected on Eötvös Square in 1934 but hurled down by the Soviet Army in 1944, was reerected significantly changing the present look of the town centre.
